Manga Mogura RE (@MangaMoguraRE), a well-respected Twitter account famous for its daily manga news updates, was among the first to break this news. This immediately grabbed the interest of manga enthusiasts around the globe. The official announcement is scheduled to take place on December 16, 2023, the opening day of Jump Festa 2023.
Given that the manga was serialized in Shueisha’s Monthly Jump Square, the pacing had raised concerns among many fans regarding the possibility of an anime adaptation.
The current state of the series, with only eleven chapters and no overarching plot, makes the possibility of an anime adaptation seem highly unlikely. This is particularly true as the series consists of just two volumes, totaling six chapters, and there are still five chapters yet to be published in a tankobon volume.

Nonetheless, there exists a one-shot manga called 'Gokurakugai: Sanbandori Ken' (極楽街三番通の件), also referred to as 'The Gokuraku District's Third Avenue Incident.' This version acts as a sort of precursor, offering insight into the early experiences of Alma and Tao, the series' main characters. This opens up the possibility of an OVA, although this, too, has yet to be confirmed.
An OVA release can be a useful promotional tool, potentially increasing the popularity of the series by attracting more viewers who believe it deserves attention. It is also possible that the series will be serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump, considering fans' impatience with the monthly release schedule as the story becomes more exciting and curiosity builds.
Although there are several potential possibilities for the upcoming announcement, fans will have to be patient as they wait for the optimal outcome.
